A/N: You know, it really amazes me that this story has - at the time of this posting - over 2,000 views, 13 faves, 16 followers, and yet only four reviews and not a single request. Even so, as long as people are enjoying Deku x Fem!Todoroki, that's what really matters to me.

Another day of classes had ended at UA, and Deku and Todoroki were walking back to the dorms, holding hands with each other. No matter how hard any of their classes got, they were happy knowing that they had the consolation of being able to join each other after classes. Even so, Deku could never quite shake the intense warmth that welled up within him whenever he was around her. Part of him didn't want to, figuring that it was normal to feel so weird around a beautiful young lady that he was so intensely attracted to. Todoroki even took notice:

"Deku, is everything OK?"

Deku averted his gaze slightly. "Oh um…yes. I…well…I still have a bit of trouble getting used to the fact that the most beautiful girl in the world was right under my nose this whole time."

"I realize it's not easy thinking of me as a girl, but I really appreciate the fact that you've been so kind and supportive towards me. Really, that's the only thing I ask for from a boy."

Deku did his best to look Todoroki in the eyes. "Really?"

Todoroki smiled. "Of course! Why should love be complicated? If two people really like each other, shouldn't their relationship speak for itself?"

Deku nodded and smiled. "That is a good point. Even if I do still have trouble getting used to thinking of you as a girl, I'm glad you're not very high maintenance!"

"I wouldn't have it any other way!"

Deku and Todoroki held hands as they continued heading for the dorms.

"Hey Deku! Hey Todoroki!"

Deku and Todoroki paused and turned around to see who'd addressed them: it was none other than Ochaco Uraraka. Deku began sweating nervously when he saw her.

"Oh…hey Uraraka!" Deku rubbed the back of his head. "Hey uh…y-you're not mad at me for going out with Todoroki…are you?"

Ochaco smiled. "Deku, I'm not mad at you at all! I'm really happy for both of you! I mean, all I want is for my friends to be happy, you know?"

Deku wiped off his brow and breathed a sigh of relief. "Oh, thank you! I couldn't have asked for a better friend!"

Ochaco averted her gaze slightly and twiddled her fingers. "Honestly, though, I think I might actually be a lesbian."

Todoroki smiled. "Uraraka, whatever you are, I just want to tell you that I really appreciate how you supported me during my coming out, and I promise I'll be there for you if you need it, too!"

"Awww, thank you so much!"

Without question, Todoroki pulled Uraraka into a hug. Despite being flustered by the fact that Todoroki's breasts were smooshing against her head, Uraraka nevertheless returned the hug. Also, in spite of not being 100% sure of her sexual orientation, Uraraka felt really good about hugging Todoroki, mainly because it meant so much to her that someone who'd been through so much and who had gotten quite the outpouring of support was giving it back to her tenfold. That, and she really appreciated how soft, warm and cuddly she was. In her time at UA, Uraraka had made her fair share of friends, but thus far, none of them were quite like Todoroki. Even if they hadn't interacted often, she had seen deep down inside that this girl with the bi-colored hair was truly a kind, loving soul who deserved to be called a hero.

Despite not interacting with Uraraka much, Todoroki had heard quite a bit about her from Deku, and based on what she'd heard, she thought of her as a positive, uplifting individual and decided that she was somebody she'd like to get to know better. However, because of her own cold, withdrawn attitude, she could never have fathomed making an attempt to get to know her better. However, when Todoroki came out as a girl to everybody, Uraraka revealed her true colors, and to Todoroki, they were the most vibrant colors that her eyes had ever had the pleasure of feasting upon. Ever since that day, Todoroki looked forward to getting to know Uraraka better, and while they hadn't always had opportunities to hang out, she was nevertheless extraordinarily grateful for moments like this one. Though the hug could have potentially lasted forever, Uraraka eventually let go of Todoroki, and Todoroki did likewise.

"You're welcome, my dear Uraraka."

Uraraka giggled. "By the way, I really love the way you did your hair! What made you choose that style?"

"Well, there was a character in an old movie who had her hair done this way, and I thought she looked so pretty, so I chose it for myself."

"Well, it's a great choice!" Uraraka gave a thumbs up. "By the way, mind if I join you and Deku on your way back?"

Todoroki nodded. "Go right ahead!"

Deku smiled. "Yeah, you're always welcome!"

And so, Deku, Todoroki and Uraraka headed back to the dorms, united in love, friendship and heroism.

Criticism is gold. Negativity and nitpicking are pyrite.
